Palate MCP

A hosted MCP server providing AI agents with structured design intelligence and reference data from over 2,000 analyzed websites. It enables agents to search for design references, extract design tokens, match creative briefs, and scaffold Astro-based websites with specific design constraints to avoid generic patterns.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http palate-mcp https://mcp.palatemcp.com/api/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add palate-mcp --url https://mcp.palatemcp.com/api/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable palate-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "palate-mcp": {
      "url": "https://mcp.palatemcp.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "palate-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://mcp.palatemcp.com/api/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start palate-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration
{
  "servers": {
    "palate-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.palatemcp.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http palate-mcp https://mcp.palatemcp.com/api/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.
Claude Desktop configuration

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
Windsurf configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "palate-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.palatemcp.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
